"In 2023, 60 per cent of Australians rejected a constitutionally recognised Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A body that could only make representations, only on matters concerning the people whose ancestors have been here sixty thousand years.
"Too much, the No campaign shrieked. Division. Privilege. Special treatment.
"Nine months later, Anthony Albanese handed Jillian Segal what the Voice never dreamed of asking for. Not a right to be heard. Power. No election. No parliamentary vote. No hearing. A three year commission reporting personally to the Prime Minister, with a mandate reaching into every campus, newsroom, classroom, gallery, charity, arts contract and visa file in the Commonwealth."

Some top law schools are banning laptops and AI tools in class to "AI-proof" future lawyers. By focusing on live discourse and critical thinking, they aim to ensure students can perform essential legal tasks independently. ⚖️ #HigherEd #University #AI #LegalEducation #AcademicFreedom

The University of Oklahoma has shown by its actions of late that it is not a legitimate school and that its academic standards are sub-par at best, based upon the #SamanthaFulnecky debacle.

I think it is time to start filing complaints with the accreditation agency for OU, the Higher Learning Commission.

Complaints can be filed here: https://www.hlcommission.org/for-students/file-a-complaint-against-an-institution/

Ellen's analysis reveals a shocking political maneuver: the ousting of UVA President Ryan signals the Trump administration's grip on higher education. Driven by Attorney General Pam Bondi's sense of victory for "white rights," this removal raises alarms over academic freedom, as noted by Dr. Jason Johnson. The New York Times underscores the administration's aggressive stance on shaping academic ideology. Discover the full story here: https://crooksandliars.com/2025/06/trump-admin-bullied-uva-president. Kudos to Ellen for this insightful article. #MAGA #HigherEducation #AcademicFreedom #PoliticalInterference #DiversityAndInclusion

@Over50butnotold Super Aktion das.

Toll und glaubhaft wäre es, wenn #UniMarburg sich nicht nur hinter die reichste Privatuni der Welt, sondern auch hinter die Kolleg_innen in #Gaza und der #Westbank stellte, die akut von einem #Scholasticide betroffen sind!

2 #professors from #Rutgers University in #NJ went out on a limb to write a “mutual defense compact” for #BigTen schools.

The professors—1 teaches chemistry in Camden, the other psychology in Newark—said they were frustrated by #Trump’s abrupt cuts to #research #funding & its efforts to dictate #policy on some campuses.

They were also troubled by the lack of a unified response by #university leaders.

#Harvard professors sue #Trump administration over funding cut threats

by Katie Cole, April 14, 2025, #WBUR

"The Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors sued the Trump administration Friday over what they call an 'unlawful and unprecedented' attempt to use federal funding cuts to restrict #FreeSpeech.

"The #DepartmentOfEducation announced in late March that it would review $8.7 billion in federal grants and contacts given to Harvard, alleging that the school failed to prevent #antisemitic discrimination on campus.

"The Trump administration then unveiled a broad set of demands on April 4 the university must agree to in order to keep getting federal funding, including cutting all diversity, equity and inclusion programming, and modifying any programming and departments that 'fuel antisemitic harassment.' The administration gave Columbia University a similar set of demands in March, which the school agreed to.

"The lawsuit by the professors' group, filed in #Massachusetts federal court, alleges that the administration's federal funding review violates the #TitleVI of the #CivilRightsAct, which prohibits discrimination in programs that receive federal funds. The court filing says the law requires specific procedures to cut federal funds and that the Trump administration has not taken any of those steps.

"The group said in a press release that the administration's actions are in effort to create a chilling effect among universities and faculty to stop speech that the president does not like.

" 'Eliminating discrimination and protecting all students is important,' said Nikolas Bowie, a Harvard law professor and the secretary-treasurer of the school's #AAUP chapter, in a statement. 'But Trump is defying the Civil Rights Act, terrifying students, and illegally holding hostage grants for hospitals and scientific research so he can accomplish his real goal of punishing academics for our politics.'

"The lawsuit says that the actions by the administration have 'already caused severe and irreparable harm by halting #academic #research and #inquiry at Harvard.'

"This is the second suit that the Harvard AAUP chapter has filed against the Trump administration this year. The first was a joint suit with other chapters, including one from Columbia, over federal efforts to deport #MahmoudKhalil and students that engaged in #ProPalestinian #activism."
